ATTENTION
Due to variations in auto manufacturing
tolerances, the transmission rods sup-
plied with this kit may require slight
bending to clear obstructions, etc.
Protect the threads
while bending.
BEND RODS COLD!
DO NOT APPLY HEAT!
WARNING
THIS TRANSMISSION DOES NOT HAVE AN INTERLOCK TO PREVENT ENGAGE-
MENT OF THE REVERSE GEAR WHEN ANY OF THE FORWARD GEARS ARE
ENGAGED. SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION WILL RESULT IF THIS
SHOULD OCCUR. DOUBLE-CHECK THE LINKAGE BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
OR MOVING THE CAR. INSERT NEUTRAL ALIGNMENT ROD (Pt. 1725) THROUGH
LEVERS AND CHECK POSITIONS OF TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ARMS. 1-2 AND
3-4 TRANSMISSION CONTROL ARMS MUST BE AT NEUTRAL POSITIONS OF
THEIR TRAVEL. REVERSE GEAR CONTROL ARM MUST BE AT
FORWARD
END OF
ITS TRAVEL (
DIS-ENGAGED
).

1. Remove stock shifter and linkage.
2. Disconnect backdrive linkage rod that connects the steering
column lever to the bellcrank on the frame of car. Replace this rod
with the rod supplied. Use stock spring clip at column end. Use
stock button at lower end of rod. Disconnect the backdrive rod
that connects the bellcrank to the transmission reverse arm at the
reverse arm only.
3. Cut off the corner of the mounting plate as shown on template.
Fasten mounting plate to transmission with three 3/8 - 16 x 3/4
bolts and three 3/8" internal tooth lockwashers supplied.
4. Remove stick from shifter. Install shifter on mounting plate.
Tighten both mounting bolts. Fasten stick to shifter.
5. Assemble rods to their respective arms using nylon bushings and
spring clips. Refer to exploded Assembly Drawing for proper
parts combinations. Spin buttons onto threaded ends of rods
to the middle of the thread length. Install arm/rod/button
assemblies onto transmission. fasten arms to shafts using stock
bolts, lockwashers and flatwashers.
6. Insert nylon bushings into holes in levers – refer to Assembly
View. Align levers with shifter frame and insert neutral alignment
rod through notches in frame and holes in levers.
7. Rotate transmission arms backward and forward. The neutral
position for each arm can be felt at the mid-position of full travel.
The upper end of reverse arm must be moved to the end of its
travel toward the front of car (dis-engaged position).
8. Adjust positions of button on each rod to permit easy slip-in fit of
button into nylon bushing in proper lever. TRANSMISSION ARMS
MUST REMAIN IN NEUTRAL POSITIONS WHILE ALIGNMENT IS
ACCOMPLISHED. Fasten buttons in levers with spring clips.
9. Remove neutral alignment rod. Test shifter. Stick should move
freely from side-to-side at neutral (between 1-2 and 3-4
shifting paths). An increased pull toward the operator should
engage the reverse lever. If shifter functions properly, proceed
to paragraph 10.
If the stick CANNOT be moved freely between 1-2 to 3-4 or
reverse path, one or more of the rod button adjustments must
be corrected. Move stick forward to 3rd, then back to 4th, then
into neutral. Insert neutral alignment rod. If rod CANNOT be
inserted freely, the 3-4 button is incorrectly adjusted. Similar
testing of 1-2 shift will prove alignment of 1-2 rod adjustment.
To check reverse rod button adjustment, place stick at neutral.
Disconnect reverse rod adjusting button from reverse lever.
Grasp rod and push all the way toward front of car. Adjust rod
button for easy slip-in fit in bushing. Re-assemble and fasten
with spring clip.
10. Adjust shifter stop bolts. Back both bolts out of shifter frame
until only a few threads remain engaged. Push stick firmly into
3rd gear and hold. Screw 3rd gear stop bolt in until contact
is made. Back bolt out one turn and tighten locknut. Pull stick
firmly back into 4th gear, screw 4th gear bolt in until contact is
made, then back stop bolt out one turn and tighten locknut.
11. Connect the backdrive rod to the hole in the lower end of the
HURST reverse arm. Adjust the clamp button (stock part) on bell-
crank as necessary to cause steering column lock mechanism to
function properly.
